To be fair, this is only part of Marvel's outreach to the female audience. They just put out an all-female superhero team book, <i>Fearless Defenders</i>, this week, and as noted above, <i>Captain Marvel</i> has been out for a while. They're really doing their best this year to bump up their numbers with ladies, and this is just part of it.

The romance novels would be really dumb if they were <i>all</I> they were doing, but it's not.

Suckmaster Burstingfoam:Yes, because girls can't enjoy normal superhero stories, they need sappy love stories with romance and talking about their feelings and shiat.

ZeroCorpse:Honestly, aren't women insulted that this seems to be the ONLY plot that is ever marketed to them when a studio tries to make a Wonder Woman TV series or "update" a female hero's comic to appeal to a female audience?

In a word? No.

It wasn't men or Marvel that turned Twilight into a goddamn bestseller.

glass_ibis:JinxedLynx: My daughter is 7 and she loves to make little booklets that resemble comics. I was wondering if there is anything targeted to her demo graphic without the skimpy large breasted females. Prefer something more tech and less magic and violence/brute force.

Not sure there is such a demographic but this is pretty funny:http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php
